Two Central Florida fathers with backgrounds in engineering and online games are developing a toy to teach math and science skills.

Jeremy Scheinberg of Winter Park and Chris Harden of Apopka are both 39 and both have young kids. After participating in a startup event in November, they decided there was a need for better educational toys – especially ones that don’t make annoying noises.

They settled on a robot plush toy called Trobo that would be a ‘buddy’ for kids and also interact with tablet computers using an app. The app will feature stories that teach STEM skills (Science Tech Engineering Math) and include the Trobo character.
